A (small) finish

It’s always nice to have a finish, no matter how small, and I’m quite pleased with how this has turned out. Our new (larger) coffee table needed a table runner. The double wedding ring runner used on our former coffee table was so small on the larger sized table, it looked ridiculous! So I got to work and cut out all the pieces for a new one, using my very handy book called “Around the Block”, by Judy Hopkins, which shows how to make 200 rotary cut blocks in six sizes.

The saw tooth stars were made from some of the extra curtain fabric, using a cream patterned fabric for the background, and plain green for the borders. After a small glitch with my cutting out, it all went together easily. I’ve just finished stitching the binding down – there, all done.
